In Yokohama's days as a writer

Sitting on the return car, Osamu Dazai took a deep breath after sending the text message, and leaned lazily on the car seat to rest.

Kunikida Doppo, who was driving beside him, did not blame Osamu Dazai this time, and asked while driving.

"What did you find?" Kunikida trusted Osamu Dazai's work efficiency very much. Although this partner has innumerable shortcomings and his work attitude needs to be improved, his work efficiency is indeed one of the best among detective agencies.

Kunikida sometimes has an illusion, as if there is nothing in this world that this man can't solve, even if his life is in danger, this man seems to have the chance to win and has a plan in mind.

Osamu Dazai will never be defeated.

When this idea appeared, Kunikida Doppo was shocked, but after being shocked, he didn't feel wrong, even though Dazai Osamu was frivolous and cynical on the surface.

But Kunikida Doppo always feels that there are darker and deeper things in his depths, and his exaggeration is more like a protective shell facing the world, which makes people want to reach out and peel off the skin to touch the softness inside. Meat, let this careless man show other colors.

Thinking this way, Kunikida didn't cast a single glance at Dazai Osamu, and looked more intently at the dark night ahead.

Osamu Dazai turned over, facing Kunikida sideways.

"That maid has thick calluses on her hands." Dazai Osamu yawned, not only tired from driving, but also from sitting all day, "Her standing posture, although it has been well concealed, there is no doubt that , used to be in the army."

"It's normal for a company of this size to have a few personal bodyguards." Kunikida pondered.

Osamu Dazai smiled, his star eyes sparkled in the darkness: "That's right, it's normal, but do you know what's abnormal?"

"The Yokohama serial murder case can be said to be known to everyone, and the faces of the victims were also spread all over the North and South, but Keiichi Miyagawa didn't know about it."

"Perhaps Keiichi Miyagawa has heard about the 'serial murder case', but he doesn't know the victim's face. After all, it's normal to have everything going on every day." Osamu Dazai spread his hands and refuted his own reasoning.

"But, I never believe in coincidence." Osamu Dazai was capricious, and overturned the previous statement.

Kunikida said patiently, "Then what do you mean?"

"Let's go back to Yokohama." Dazai Osamu made a final decision, "Ms. Matsumoto is still waiting for news from us."

Kunikida thought about it and thought it was right, so he drove back to Yokohama.

Dazai Osamu sat on the seat, thought and thought, he picked up his mobile phone and sent a message to Edogawa Ranpo.

[Mr. Ranpo, I would like to ask you to check someone for me. ]

[uh-huh!Sure enough, I still need Lord Ranpo to take action, really~]

[Well, I would like to ask Mr. Ranpo to help me see this person. ]

Osamu Dazai swiped his phone to the photo album, then selected one of the photos he took not long ago, and sent it to Edogawa Ranpo.

[Who is this? ]

Edogawa ranpo asked.

[This girl is called Matsunaga Baihui. We suspect that her brother Matsumoto Yongta is the murderer of the Yokohama serial murder case who is fleeing. ]

After Osamu Dazai sent this message, he waited quietly for a while, and after a while, Ranpo Edogawa sent another message.

Osamu Dazai took a closer look, and then walked towards Edogawa to thank him.

Then Osamu Dazai opened the phone book again, swipe a few times flexibly, and found Momoe Matsumoto's phone number.

I don't know how he asked Matsumoto Baihui for the mobile phone number under Kunikida's nose.

He dialed the number, and after two or three beeps, the other end of the phone was quickly connected.

"Hello." A soft female voice came from the other side,

"Hello, Ms. Matsumoto, I'm Osamu Dazai, a member of the Armed Detective Agency."

Baihui Matsumoto suddenly realized: "I know you, is there any news about my brother?"

"Yes, Ms. Matsumoto, we already have news about your brother, I hope you can take the time to come to the detective agency."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Momoe Matsumoto agreed decisively, and the news of Yongta Matsumoto was her number one priority.

Kunikida Doppo continued to drive the vehicle, heading towards Yokohama.

Arriving in Yokohama, it was already very late, Kunikida Doppo parked the car at the designated spot, and went back to the detective agency with Osamu Dazai.

"Kunikida-kun, what do you think of this case?" Dazai Osamu asked Kunikida's opinion as if he had a whim.

Kunikida didn't know, so he said, "Just use your eyes to see what you want, to find out the case and track down the murderer."

"Although Ms. Matsumoto's brother is very suspicious, Miyagawa Keiichi is not completely suspicious." Osamu Dazai shrugged, and walked upstairs with Kunikida alone.

Kunikida walked in front of Osamu Dazai: "Well, I understand, but we need to find Matsumoto Eita first."

Even though it was dark, the detective agency was still brightly lit, Kunikida paused, a little puzzled: "Have you not gotten off work yet?"

Yokohama is a very special place, and the forces that control it are roughly divided into two parties, namely, the Supernatural Secret Service Division, which controls the daytime, and the Port Mafia, which controls the night.

The Armed Detective Agency between the time of the Enchantment and the dusk, where Kunikida and Osamu Dazai are working now.

The Armed Detective Agency does not hold power, does not hold weapons, and wanders in the gray area to ease the sharp contradictions between the Supernatural Secret Service and the port mafia.

The "Three Moment Concept" proposed by Natsume Soseki, the most powerful supernatural being in the legend, because the distribution of the three forces has been completed.

It stands to reason that armed detective agencies generally do not have the term "overtime", and the detective agencies at night usually go back to their respective homes.

Kunikida felt a little uneasy, and stretched out his hand to protect Osamu Dazai, preventing him from moving forward.

"Something is wrong." Kunikida's golden pupils flashed a cold light, "We should be careful."

Osamu Dazai didn't seem to notice Kunikida's vigilant movements.

"Go in and have a look." Osamu Dazai went up and pushed the door open.

Kunikida, who was too late to stop, was speechless: "Hello!"

In fact, Kunikida really worried too much.

When he opened the door, Edogawa Ranpo who was bored sitting on his seat playing glass balls greeted his eyes. He glanced at the two of them angrily.

"You guys are really leisurely." Luanbu leaned back on the chair, folded his arms across his chest, and looked at the two of them angrily.

"Look at what time it is now!" The little hamster Luanbu puffed up his face, "It's already 08:30 in the evening! Master Luanbu has been waiting for you for so long!!"

Osamu Dazai lied and didn't make a draft, his face was not red and his heart skipped a beat, and he said, "Sorry, Mr. Ranpo, there is a traffic jam on the road."

Kunikida is not as brazen as someone else, and Ranpo-san is a senior he respects in the first place.

"I'm very sorry, Ranpo-san." Kunikida bowed deeply, deeply ashamed.

Edogawa Ranpo is neither a person who deliberately makes things difficult for the younger generation, but a child with a heart.

"Forget it." He muttered, "Master Ranpo will forgive you this time."

As he spoke, he took out a bag of documents from under the table and handed it to Osamu Dazai.

"Here, Dazai, this is what you asked me to check for you." Edogawa Ranpo said.

Osamu Dazai didn't see him either, and took it cheerfully: "Thank you, Mr. Ranpo."

Edogawa sat down in disorder, "Don't you need me to help you?"

Osamu Dazai shook his head: "No need."

"Me and Kunikida, enough is enough."

Kunikida gave him a surprised look.

Osamu Dazai smiled lightly, the tone of his words was not strong, but it gave off an undeniable aura of superiority.

With Osamu Dazai around, there will be no problem.

Seeing this, Edogawa Ranpo did not insist: "Then you and Kunikida will take over the case, and I will leave it alone."

He sat on the chair and swayed his legs: "For the handover, Xie Ye will negotiate with the Metropolitan Police Department."

Kunikida felt a little disobedient, stepped forward and asked.

"Mr. Ranpo, is there any problem with this matter?"

Edogawa Ranpo shook his head: "No, just a few hours ago, a case was transferred from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and I was named to assist in the investigation."

The armed detective agency has close ties with the government and has many contacts. Many incidents that are not suitable for official contact will be entrusted to the armed detective agency to investigate.

"Since the matter of the Yokohama murderer is taken over by the two of you, I don't have to worry about it anymore." Ranpo took out snacks from the drawer, "Do you want to eat?"

Osamu Dazai and Kunikida shook their heads together.

Edogawa unpacked the bag in a random manner, and said flatteredly, "I'll just ask casually."

"Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Kunikida Doppo asked, "Is there any case that needs Mr. Ranpo's action?"

"It's about the recent sudden death of a supernatural being."

Fukuzawa Yukichi walked out of the darkness with a kimono around his waist and a kimono.

"President." Kunikida frowned, "The supernatural person died?"

Fukuzawa Yukichi nodded: "The number of supernatural beings is rare all over the world, but the death of dozens of supernatural beings who have been missing recently has attracted great attention from above."

"As a place where people with supernatural powers gather, the Armed Detective Agency naturally attracts a lot of attention."

Fukuzawa Yukichi subconsciously touched the knife at his waist with his fingers, adding a bit of murderous look to his already solemn face.

"Even if it is not commissioned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the detective agency will not let such a vicious villain go."

Osamu Dazai thought for a while, and asked, "It's just that the supernatural person died, so there's no need to go to war like this."

It's not that Osamu Dazai thinks darkly. Eliminating dissidents has always been something that politicians like to do. After all, people with supernatural powers belong to a small group among human beings.

If it's just the death of a supernatural person, just turn a blind eye and close one eye.

Fukuzawa Yukichi has a deep understanding of this, and naturally understands it very well.

"Two-thirds of the supernatural beings who died were never registered, and some of them even registered as ordinary people."

Kunikida and Dazai Osamu's expressions darkened instantly.

Since the appearance of supernatural beings in the world, many people have experienced bloody storms. Such a random and powerful ability is something that many people dream of.

The persecution and arrests have never diminished.

When this happens, there are only two possibilities.

Kunikida lowered his eyes: "If they didn't hide their identity as supernatural beings..."

"Human experiment." A cold light flashed across Dazai Osamu's eyes, "They died in human experiment."
